Yea unlimited turns and mana must be illegal... but I only played against other people with his decks so I don't know much about the trounies etc...

Yeah, I still remember my ass kicking RAT deck. It was NOT legal, and I still played it often.

Whats wrong with referring to somebody as a pokemon graduate or a 35 year old who lives with his mom if that is what they are? I've been visiting my local hobby store once a week since I was 16 (I'm 21 now) and I recognize many of the regulars there on sight. I remember when many of the younger magic players were begging their moms for Pokemon cards and I know the scary old guys who live in their mothers basement and take out loans to buy magic cards (yes, I know a guy who did this)
I have no problem with these people and the names given to them were not meant to necessarily be insulting but thats what society thinks of them as. I don't have a problem with the 12 year old magic players but I'd prefer to play with somebody who can recognize a wheel of fortune on sight and knows what lightning bolt and fireball do. I'd also rather not play with somebody who insist you refer to the card by its actual name and not the nickname you made for it and can name off every other card that particular artist did the artwork for. Those people scare me.

I love Magic the Gathering... Just my deck is horrible, I have about 50 purchased "decks" and nothing else, so I have a pretty large collection of cards, but none of the "uber" card.

I have a question though... Are there any Magic The Gathering games that you can play vs an AI other then the one for dos from way back when? I know that game had a demo with like 3 decks, but Microprose made it I believe, so I can not buy it any more. (I do not mean MtG Online, I really do not want to plunk down money for online cards since I have the real cards here. Also I do not even know if you can play vs an AI in MtG:O)

Other than that old one for DOS I don't think there are any. There was one that let you play online with other people using decks you created yourself from the databank of cards and allowed for downloading updates to get new cards but it was buggy as hell. I basically just used it to build decks on the computer instead of hunting through card boxes to look for combos since 9/10 of the games with other people (there was no AI opponent) would crash.

Man I almost wanna break them out and play a game. I think it's probably been over two years since I even opened the boxes they're in

Actually, there IS a single player MTG game for Win 95. And If I didnt know better, I'd swear I was playing MTG online with old cards. :

O: They also made a really, REALLY terrible RTS version of MTG for the PS one.

Yeah! That is the one I am thinking of then... By Microprose...

Does anyone have any clue how I might go about finding a copy of that? Ebay has a few, but I didn't see anyone with a good enough feedback, I think the only one that looked like the real thing had 0 feedback :/

I dont remember much what the box art looks like, but if they show you the CD, it has the red mana symbol on it with a black background.

Hope that helps.

There is a new Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds coming out that promises to have single-player content.

http://www.us.atari.com/games/magic_...nds_action_pc/

Also, check out Etherlords II coming out soon. It has familiar MTG style gameplay. The single-player demo is at http://www.fileplanet.com/files/120000/129691.shtml

And finally, a parody from Eminem's song titled "Lose Yourself" off the major motion picture soundtrack "8 Mile" complete with .mp3

I still have not been able to find the game anywhere... Someone on ebay is selling it for almost $30... I don't think so...

No store has it either from what I have seen.

And the new Magic Battlegrounds game does not look like what I want either... I just want a plain ole Magic the gathering game, no special fx or anything to get in the way of a 5-10 min game...

Also when I played there was only two expansions out, I now hear they added a whole new color!? I would be totally lost with that stuff...

Spider · 2003-09-07, 08:59 PM

I hear nothing of a new color....

Still is: Blue, white, black, red, green and Colorless...

Yeah I play. I quit 5 years ago, then started playing again with friends 6 months ago.

I have all new cards, but now I've become really bored with it because I like making interesting combo decks and I've tapped out all the new cards, so I'm probably gonna quit again.
